The STAND League has me on a bit of a roll. This ragtag collection of "defenders of the faith" (some of them no doubt doing an "amends project" for some transgression, others doing it to gain "eligibility" for their OT levels) comes up with the craziest stuff. They try to categorize people by association. When Hollis Jane Andrews tweeted about a crazy list of duties for a babysitter job for a scientologist, she earned the ire of the passengers in the STAAD league clown car. Nobody claimed the bonkers list of demands she included were untrue, they simply went after her as a … [Read more...]
STAND Unhinged and Undone by OT III
As is their modus operandi, STAND goes after any journalist who dares publish anything they don't like, no matter how insignificant or tangential. They do so with a fervor that is comical, reveling in purple prose and what they consider extremely clever put-downs. This one caught my attention. While claiming this reporter had engaged in "prosecutable libel" in her vicious and unwarranted assault, it made no mention of what the supposed libel was (and Martin, perhaps it's news to you that you cannot libel a dead person, something you should know before you spout off about it with such … [Read more...]
Defending the Indefensible: Scientology TV
Of all things, STAND is complaining about The Hollywood Reporter's "biased" and "bigoted" coverage of the dismal flop that is ScientologyTV They dredge up some old stuff they have used before about the founder of THR being a communist scare merchant in the days of McCarthyism to prove that the Reporter has a "history" of bias and bigotry and that somehow makes it so today... An interesting standard that they might want to think through a little better, given their illustrious founder's checkered history and the fact that 11 leaders (including his wife) went to Federal prison... I guess … [Read more...]
Twitter Cracks Down on #ScnPsychoTerror
Thanks to some excellent and diligent work by friends on Twitter, led by the formidable Stefani Hutchison, two of the primary scientology psychoterror accounts have been suspended and the first "Stand League" account also. If you missed my post of yesterday concerning scientology psychological terrorism, please read it. One prong of scientology terrorism campaigns has been to abuse social media and the internet with endless lies about people they target. Scientology has the ability to devote huge amounts of tax-free money and free labor resources into creating an overwhelming volume of … [Read more...]
“Unemployed Blogger” Dominating Scientology
The huge, international scientology organization is at the mercy of an “unemployed blogger.” STAND League flounders as they are pressured to "handle" him. These are the real (if unspoken) headlines for STAND League’s latest attempted smear on Tony Ortega. To be fair, I will give them a point for using a decent photo of him. Not their usual style. But that is the only thing worth noting that is not a terrible lie. Obviously, Fast Eddie and his minions have gotten some heat from David Miscavige to "get effective" shutting down Tony Ortega. They have failed for more than a d … [Read more...]
Scientology and the Communist Witch-hunt
For some unknown reason, the STAND twitter account recently put up a new tweet accusing The Hollywood Reporter of a "history of forwarding hate. In the 1940s and 50s, the publication was part and parcel of fomenting the anti-Communist campaign in Hollywood..." If you click on the link it goes to a page on the STAND site that is a letter of complaint about an article in the THR from 2017 (they don't seem to have a whole lot of new material): It is so typically scientology -- they don't like something they said, so they launch into an attack over something that happened 70 … [Read more...]
They Cannot Get Over It
Ed Parkin (and his Dear Leader, David Miscavige) continue to be obsessed about A&E. Not content that The Aftermath completed its 3 season run more than a year ago, they are operating on the Hubbard dictum "I never forget, I always even the score" and continue, once a week on average, to write editorials demanding the entire A&E network be exterminated. They literally want to cost every A&E employee their job, also pursuant to the dictates of Hubbard. Everyone who works at A&E is an "enemy" because they are connected to The Aftermath, Leah Remini and Mike Rinder. Why does … [Read more...]
More Foolishness from STAND
Another recent tweet from the genuises at STAND League led me to yet another of their brain-addled articles. John Logothetis has apparently caught some sort of mental incapacity from riding in Rodger Clark's clown car of flawed logic... As a note, right at the outset, he excuses the "professional critic" who gets paid for their "opinions." Of course, he must know that this is scientology's repeated claim about me and Leah. That we are simply "paid critics" who have nothing better to do than make a buck off "scientology's good name." But don't think he actually … [Read more...]
Scientology Hates “Experts” — Unless They Are Paying Them
STAND League is a constant source of ideas of what should be discussed about scientology. They accuse others (usually Leah Remini and me) of exactly what they are doing. They rail again anti-Semitism, it spurs me to write about scientology and the NOI. They complain about "anti-religionists" it prompts something about what Hubbard had to say about religion. Scientology is "fun" - brings on a post about disconnection and crush regging. And now I noticed this one. Rest assured, every one of the "experts" scientology touts is paid. Massimo Introvigne of CESNUR., Gordon Melton, Brian Wilson … [Read more...]
The Hypocrisy of Scientology Knows No Bounds
Once again, scientology demonstrates "do as I say, not as I do" -- following the well-trod path of founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Here again we see the so-called "Stand League" (I prefer to call it by its true acronym, STAAD -- "scientologists taking action against discrimination") railing against anti-Semitism in one of their recent blog posts. This is their attempt to present themselves as champions of religious freedom and speech by taking a sure-to-gain-agreement stance that anti-Semitism is to be deplored. How brave. How noble. Old Martin Landon has really gone out on a limb … [Read more...]
